Graph databases are great for retrieving existing data with associated data.

The power of SQL comes from the fact that you can easily create new information out of the data: create new sets, group by certain features, aggregates on certain features.

It's a lot more powerful than just store and retrieve.




People forget that SQL isn't just Query (DQL), it's also definition (DDL), manipulation (DML), control (DCL), and transaction control (TCL), language [0].

Checkout that platform that a full-blown Oracle license can provide to your DBA... It's definitely more than just CRUD.
